Installation automatic, all in one (recommanded)

For this method, one just have to get/download the install ﬁle (2 Ko) mfc_vfemp1_install.m Thereafter, one run it under Matlab. This command download, extract and conﬁgure the fc-vfemp1 and the required toolbox fc-simesh in the current directory.

For example, to install this toolbox in ~/Matlab/toolboxes directory, one have to copy the ﬁle mfc_vfemp1_install.m in the ~/Matlab/toolboxes directory. Then in a Matlab terminal run the following commands

Matlab Console

>> cd ~/Matlab/toolboxes
>> mfc_vfemp1_install()

There is the output of the mfc_vfemp1_install() command on a Linux computer :

3- Using instructions
   To use the <fc-simesh> toolbox:
   addpath(’~/Matlab/toolboxes/fc-vfemp1-full/fc_simesh-0.2.1’)
   fc_simesh.init()

   See ~/Matlab/toolboxes/mfc_simesh_set.m
    <fc-simesh>[0.2.1]: installed

*** Setting the <fc-vfemp1> toolbox
Write in ~/Matlab/toolboxes/fc-vfemp1-full/fc_vfemp1-0.1.0/configure_loc.m ...
  -> done
*** The <fc-vfemp1>[0.1.0] is installed
*** Using instructions
   To use the <fc-vfemp1> toolbox:
   addpath(’~/Matlab/toolboxes/fc-vfemp1-full/fc_vfemp1-0.1.0’)
   fc_vfemp1.init()

   See ~/Matlab/toolboxes/mfc_vfemp1_set.m

The complete toolbox (i.e. with all the other needed toolboxes) is stored in the directory

~/Matlab/toolboxes/fc-vfemp1-full

and, for each Matlab session, one have to set the toolbox by :

Matlab Console

>> addpath(’~/Matlab/toolboxes/fc-vfemp1-full/fc-vfemp1-0.1.0’)
>> fc_vfemp1.init()

To quickly test this toolbox, one can run one of the script examples located in the directory
+fc_vfemp1/+examples. For example, runs

Matlab Console

>> fc_vfemp1.examples.BVPCondenser2D01

or the complete demo (take a long time)

Matlab Console

>> fc_vfemp1.demos()

To install the fc-vfemp1 toolbox without graphical extension one can use the following command

Matlab Console

>> mfc_vfemp1_install(’graphics’,false)

For uninstalling, one just have to delete directory

~/Matlab/toolboxes/fc-vfemp1-full
